Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low

Vulnerable system availability: Low

Subsequent system integrity: None

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Adjacent: The vulnerable system is bound to a protocol stack, but the attack is limited at the protocol level to a logically adjacent topology. This can mean an attack must be launched from the same shared proximity (e.g., Bluetooth, NFC, or IEEE 802.11) or logical network (e.g., local IP subnet), or from within a secure or otherwise limited administrative domain (e.g., MPLS, secure VPN within an administrative network zone).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 12 Aug 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-26.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Edge Orchestrator software to 24.11.1.

AI-suggested

2) Restrict network access to Edge Orchestrator management interfaces by implementing network segmentation and strict access controls, ensuring only trusted and authenticated users on secure network segments can reach these services. 3) Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and monitor for unusual authentication attempts or privilege escalations within edge management systems. 4) Implement robust logging and continuous monitoring of edge orchestration activities to detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 5) Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on edge computing environments to identify and remediate potential weaknesses. 6) Educate administrators and operators managing edge platforms about the risks of privilege escalation and the importance of applying security updates promptly. 7) Use network-level protections such as firewalls and intrusion detection/prevention systems to limit adjacent network access to critical edge orchestration components. These targeted measures go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific attack vector (adjacent network with authenticated access) and the operational context of edge orchestration.

Description

Improper input validation for some Edge Orchestrator software before version 24.11.1 for Intel(R) Tiber(TM) Edge Platform may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via adjacent access.

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-27537 can be notable in sectors relying on edge computing infrastructure, such as manufacturing, telecommunications, smart cities, and critical infrastructure. Edge Orchestrator software is often deployed to manage distributed edge devices that process data locally to reduce latency and bandwidth usage. An attacker exploiting this vulnerability could escalate privileges and gain control over edge management functions, potentially leading to unauthorized configuration changes, data leakage, or disruption of edge services. This could affect operational continuity, data integrity, and confidentiality of sensitive information processed at the edge. Given the increasing adoption of edge computing in Europe, especially in countries with advanced industrial and telecom sectors, the vulnerability poses a risk to the security posture of organizations leveraging Intel's Tiber platform. However, the requirement for authenticated adjacent access somewhat limits the risk to insiders or attackers who have already breached perimeter defenses. Nonetheless, the potential for privilege escalation means that attackers could leverage this vulnerability as a stepping stone for deeper network penetration or lateral movement within an organization.
